Best beginner-friendly tutorials on custom app development (storing data in metafields)? Skills?

Shopify Discussion

Hi.

I plan to store additional information about customers upon registration (in meta fields). A custom app is required for that however.

I have programming experience (not with Shopify however). I’m a bit overwhelmed bit the huge documentation and can’t seem to find any decent tutorials teaching the basics about customs apps.
How long do you think it will take me to get to know the basics and subsequentely implement the desired functionality from above?

Any suggestions for good tutorials that teach Shopify custom app development?

Hi @dg_eye !

I can share to you some help documents regarding making a custom app in Shopify. Here are some of them: Custom apps, Making Shopify apps, and Create an app. Another suggestion as well is to explore other applications that Shopify app store offers so; you can check if any of those will work for you. Here is the full list of customizable forms app.
